Not n Bully.

The only criticism some newspapers
can make of Governor Taylor's conduct
in the Turner matter, is that he did
not "kick Turner out of his room as he
would a dirty dog That will do for
brave editor to write about but SEN
sible men do not expect the Governor
of "two millions of proud people to
turn his Office into prize ring or to
stoop to the level of a street rough by
engaging in personal difficulty with
every corrupt politician or barroom
bully who insults him. When Turner
eliminated his corrupt purpose, Gov
ernor Taylor maintained his own
self-respect and the honor OF every
Tenuessean by telling Turner that
he did not want his money and that
his offices were not for sale. He then
lett Turner and went Immediately to
his two principal appointees Commits
sioneI Hord and Superintendent
Smith, who might be said to be his
cabinet and told them in substance
that Turner had tried to bride him
and that his application for the coal
oil inspectorship would no longer be
considered. This is all an incorrupt-
ible, sensible Executive would have
done. A prize fighter or a bully might
have acted differently,

NEWS FROM ALONG THE LINE.
Camden s. c. journal.
We understand that more hands
were put to work on the new railroad
during the past week in order to keep
up with the heavy work that is being
cone.
The contractors who are supplying
the crossties appear to be pushing
their work with all the speed possible.
They will certainly be up with their
job, and may complete it long before
the limit runs out.
shelby N. c. New Era.
The first regular passenger train on
the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago
Railroad was run on Monday from
Rutherfordton to Blacks and return.
The train went up on Sunday after
noon, and was greeted by large crowds
at each Of the stations passed, while,
as it passed through the country it
was eagerly ga2ed upon by many per-
sons. The same experience met the
train on Monday until il reached
RutherlordtOn where it was serenaded
by the Rutherfordton Cornet Band in
the presence of a large and enthusiasts
tic crowd Of people. The train hands
gave three rousing cheers for Ruther-
fordton and the people enthusiastically
returned the cheers of the railroad
men, and all went home happy that
the running OF trains over the new
road was an accomplished fact
From the Marion y. c. Bugle.
Mr.. Burl Blanton, of Shelby, was
in town the past week and we under
stand that he stated that the contract
on the G. G. & c. road from here to
Rutherfordton would be let in a few
days. Mr.. Blanton is a thorugh going
business man and has been identified
with the road and we suspect that his
visit to Marion means something.

in outdoor sports themselves 1t produced a
revolution in English social life by making
garden parties interesting-rescuing them, in
fact, from complete stupidity. 1t leveled off
the lawns and gardens, too. Inproportion as
croquet advances to perfection in elaborate
ness and science" it becomes wearisome and
dull Experts scorn the game in its old time
simple form, and that takes the heart out of
tho few who would still like to play it in the
old way. And that same trouble creeps into
everything. The few who so to perfection in
any art discourage the many for whom per-
fection is not and cannot be. The eldest
daughter goes abroad to study music and
comes home understanding it so well that
there is no more family singing. But GRO
quet goes on, played by the skilled great
deal and by the unskilled little. As soon as
a game develops specialists" players who
play it with professional exactitude and can't
be tripped up, it loses its hold on those who
make recreation of it. The experts in the
game have just been holding tournament
at Norwich, Conn, and the fine playing seen
there was enough to make an ordinary per-
sons eyes open very wide indeed.
